Silicones: the good and the bad

Although silicones may not be cataloged as “harmful” they do not help your skin in any way. In this video we will talk about this ingredient and how it can be damaging in the long run.

🌺

When you stop using products with silicones you will meet some challenges:

💄With #cleanmakeup for example, you will need to re-learn how to apply it, needing to use different techniques to achieve a smooth look. What works on one foundation will vary greatly to what works on a different one.

💁Your hair will go through a #detox process, and you won't find it as soft in the beginning. You can accelerate this by using apple cider vinegar instead of conditioner (🚨: be careful to dilute it well if you have processed hair).

🕵️‍♀️How can you find if a product has #silicones? The unpronounceable and uncommon names silicones go by, are:

❌Acrylamides
❌Acrylates
❌Carbomers
❌Copolymers
❌Methacrylates
❌Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)
❌Polymers (most commonly polybutene and polyisobutene)
